Sexism and degradation of women is sometimes funny.
Sexism and degradation of women is sometimes not funny.
Sexism and degradation of men is sometimes funny.
Sexism and degradation of men is sometimes not funny.
As simple as that. Gain a little sense, lose a little sensitivity.
I just happen to be a woman, and I have to say, to have to be a pretty weak person to take such offense to a sexist joke. There is a clear line between poking fun at human nature and acting out in a sexist manner. Save your offense for the latter.
Pie is an irrational number, if you square it you still get an irrational number. That is to say if the question went like: ( whatever) is an irrational number, but (this whatever) squared is a rational number. I think that if you square a irrational number then you always get a rational number.) This is high shcool math and as someone with a math bs, as bad as this is, I laughed when I saw it.
Who says the respondent was a guy? Could be a woman being ironic. I could write something like that in the right mood & would have had enough correct answers on my math test to be able to blow a couple of points on a test to make a statement. Problem is, back when I was taking math tests in the 1960’s the powers that be hadn’t figured out that institutional sexism was wrong…..
Given that I am a reformed Hillary supporter who converted to Obama in April, seeing this picture does make me think that if things get more screwed up in this country, no one can blame it on a woman president.
Not that anyone should, given that the current incumbent is an 8 year long multi-trillion FAIL. Same goes for Obama if he makes some mistakes in his adminstration. The Presidency is, after all, the ultimate on the job training.
You know, that’s a really interesting comment and it reminds me of a time when ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Way to be an boring, irrelevant ass.
What a bunch of @#$%s you posters are. This site has great pictures but just about
the stupidest most pathetic posters ever. It’s embarrassing to read some of your
drivel. Then I finally read something by Hyla’s Brook that actually interested me
and wasn’t full of….hey! FAIL!….and here is all this crap, once again.
FWIW, I couldn’t agree more. Seems there are five categories of commentors here:
40% who insist everything is photoshopped out of a pathological insecurity about being “tricked”
40% who deride the pictures for being not fail enough (25%) or not living up to their spelling/captioning expectations (15%)
10% who have nothing better to do than flame other commentors
8% who think posting some variant of “FIRST!” is witty and interesting and
2% who seem to actually be intelligent and/or amusing and/or interesting instead of paranoid toxic illiterate buffoons.
Seems to pretty accurately reflect the “Real World” now that I think of it…
40% insisting that everything is photoshopped in the real world? Now that I think of it, that reminds me of this comic on XKCD: “My hobby: insisting that real life objects are photoshopped” Although I don’t see the resemblance to the real world, it sure makes sense here…
Well, I was actually going for the “2% non-asswipes” being about on par… none of the other percentages really have “real world” counterparts. Except maybe the flamers.
if guys were capable of focusing on anything other than sex, girls wouldn’t use it against them so often. think of it as a reflection of your own patheticness.
I completely agree. It’s like female comedians who don’t talk about anything besides being women, then they complain that men think they’re not funny or creative.
Way to bring the statistical thunder homer, lol!
I think it is a fail that math tests now have cartoon people on them with word bubbles filled with the problems to solve, anyone else find that odd? I think Tracey is wrong because she is a cartoon.
I think Tracey is wrong because it’s 10, not 18. XD
I thought it was 42%!
And Jam’s right. I’ve seen more girls than guys that are good at math. (I’m a senior in high school.) I’m the exception. A guy who’s good at math. (Then again, I have a mental disorder…)
British/European phrasing. Pretty much it’s only Americans (USAns, that is) who refer to “math” – the rest of the world refers to “maths.” Similarly, we’re the only ones who “go to the hospital” or “get put in the hospital” – rest of the world “goes to hospital” or “gets put in hospital.”
I’m a brit, I’d “go to the hospital” or “get put in the hospital”, but I’d probably contract the ‘the’ down to a grunt. On the other hand, I always ‘write to my MP’, not ‘write my MP’.
Correct, although the actual question is not whether (√2+√8)²=18. It was thatshe thinks that if you square an irrational number, you always get a rational number, which you proved was incorrect. You win!
Actually Tracy is right about that Tracy says that if you square an irrational number the it will become rational which would work with the number she picked. one answer to this problem is Pi.
Tracy says that if you square an irrational number then it will always become rational. “Always” being a word usually used to mean “in all situations”. I.e. for all irrational numbers. If you square Pi, you do not get a rational number. You get another irrational number. And retards posting stupid comments.
I think we are all forgetting the subject of this picture. It is not that she sucks at math. And it is obviously not about the math problem in the picture. It is about how Tracy is a woman, therefore will always be wrong. (Unless she is arguing with another woman. In that case the hotter woman with less clothes on wins.)
This entry is obviously another example of the sexist media, like Chris Matthews, derailing Hillary Clinton’s campaign in favor of an inadequate BLACK man.
(sqrt(2) + sqrt(2)*sqrt(4))^2
=(sqrt(2) + sqrt(2)*2)^2
=(sqrt(2)*3)^2
=2*9
=18
the math(s) is(are, do Brits really say that?) right.
The statement is wrong. e^2, pi^2
Math good, logic fail.
Oh, and Tracy is a post-operative transvestite, the name works for both genders. Some may think that’s wrong, but the test taker is only semi-wrong that she’s a woman. Thank you, goodnight
Wow, I was reading and trying to answer the question for a few moments, asking myself, “Why is this a fail? What’s wrong with this math problem?” – as if something were inherently wrong with the problem. I thought I wasn’t getting it until I glanced down at the answer, lol.
My Friend: study math. She is all rigth.
you Can not cancel. the result is 18
“Meu caro amigo, você não pode cancelar a raiz quadrada com a potência quadrática. O resultado é realmente 18 e não 10 como você deve estar pensando. Trata-se de um número irracional. primeiro resolve-se as raízes e depois eleva-se ao quadrado
Her math is right in that (sqrt(2) + sqrt(8))^2 == 18… her logic below the math is not.
It’s probably supposed to say “I think that if you square an irrational number you always get a rational number.” Since we all know that not all irrational numbers are square roots, it should be pretty easy to prove.
sexist fail
that definitely seems like a sexist WIN
i wish my math tests in grade school were that easy
just kidding
its only win if hes teacher gives him marks for it
He just lost all chances of getting a girlfriend. Defiantly a fail.
“defiantly”?
fail.
I really don’t think chauvinism for humors sake and getting a girlfriend are mutually exclusive.
i understand the math now!
in general..math is that terrible…so who really cares?
THIS PICTURE IS THE BEST EVER.
“She’s a woman”
CLASSIC
well, i’m so glad that sexism and the degredation of women is so funny to you.
well, i’m so glad that you get so uptight about a small joke
Sexism and degradation of women is sometimes funny.
Sexism and degradation of women is sometimes not funny.
Sexism and degradation of men is sometimes funny.

As simple as that. Gain a little sense, lose a little sensitivity.
^^^ True
not really, it’s always funny.
i agree with you
I just happen to be a woman, and I have to say, to have to be a pretty weak person to take such offense to a sexist joke. There is a clear line between poking fun at human nature and acting out in a sexist manner. Save your offense for the latter.
Hey! That’s my name!!
then you suck at math.
Someone’s tiny penis is threatened that the WOMAN can speak intelligently about math.
But she IS wrong.
That comment was win
Yes it was
hahaha
OK then, then answer the question, where is she wrong?
Pie is an irrational number, if you square it you still get an irrational number. That is to say if the question went like: ( whatever) is an irrational number, but (this whatever) squared is a rational number. I think that if you square a irrational number then you always get a rational number.) This is high shcool math and as someone with a math bs, as bad as this is, I laughed when I saw it.
He RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH
Comment FAIL
taking things personally fail
retort fail
Hate to be a grammar nazi but “An Number”? You only need An when the next word starts with a vowel.
Try again man, i hate to tell u that but the image isn’t complete.
I guess there is the word irrational betwen “an” and “number”
now thats funny
Truth hurts sometimes.
Of course women doesn´t work as hard as men!
THEY DO IT RIGHT AT FIRST!
grammer fail!
excellent
My wife, the mathematician, might disagree with this guy.
She can disagree all she wants. She’s still a woman ergo WRONG. Testis proinde ergo sum rectus.
Almost enough to make me wonder if his math teacher was a female.
it would be great if her name was Tracy
Who says the respondent was a guy? Could be a woman being ironic. I could write something like that in the right mood & would have had enough correct answers on my math test to be able to blow a couple of points on a test to make a statement. Problem is, back when I was taking math tests in the 1960’s the powers that be hadn’t figured out that institutional sexism was wrong…..

talk about over the top comment no one cares what your political status is to much effort
grammar fail like WHOA.
you gay.
Grammar and Comeback FAIL
You know, that’s a really interesting comment and it reminds me of a time when ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Way to be an boring, irrelevant ass.
too much wiggles for you 0.0
“Way to be an boring, irrelevant ass.”
..sigh.. When you figure out what’s wrong… never mind. Just, forget it. Please.
::looks for a cave to crawl into::
Comment fail
This is a FAIL blog after all…..
Indeed… that looks like a girl’s letter ._.
There’s no such thing as gendered handwriting.
This is true. I’m a girl and i write like a guy ._.
contradiction fail.
^^^^ That’s not meant to be sexist. Girls tend to write more ’rounded out’ letters while guy’s are more angled. I have very sharp, angled handwriting.
I got something for ya that’s sharp and angled …
FAIL
nah, i think it’s a guy’s
political activism fail
Reply to comment epic fail x7…reading won’t make your heads explode guys.
Iron my shirt!
Knucklez in ur face FAIL!
Comebacks FAIL
i think that part of me died reading what was seemingly your entire fucking life story. please…. this is what a blog is for – ignoring.
What a bunch of @#$%s you posters are. This site has great pictures but just about
the stupidest most pathetic posters ever. It’s embarrassing to read some of your
drivel. Then I finally read something by Hyla’s Brook that actually interested me
and wasn’t full of….hey! FAIL!….and here is all this crap, once again.
Why do I bother to keep returning?
*sigh*
Fail

Win. If you can’t keep an open mind about all of this how can you find it funny?
Buh-bye.
Do something better with your life FAIL?
^^^^ Irony Fail!^^^^^^
Everybody here is wasting time by looking at pics and posting about them.
Dude, this was just a funny joke. No need to bring politics into it…
y make everything political, even this makes you some how bring up Bush.
Bush haters with no life = FAIL
tl;dr
oh come on. look at the picture. “Tracy” is clearly a man in drag!
Tracy looks like Obama.
OMG, s/he does!
Yeah, like Obama in drag.
Feminism fail
Teenage boys can afford to be sexist when they aren’t getting any.
Just “teenage boys”? I would suggest it extends well beyond the teenage years!
If they’re not getting any, yes. XD
That’s a good way to make sure they NEVER get any!
Amen to that.
Jesus invented rape so people would stop spanking the monkey.
firstly, fail.
secondly, why is it that so many feminists use sexuality as a weapon to retaliate to sexist remarks. i see this so much:
douche: “iron my shirt bitch.”
feminist douche: “your just mad because you’re not getting any pussy because of your small penis.”
what, your sexuality encompasses your entire sense of self worth, it’s the only thing you have to offer and withholding it is your only wepon?
this kind of thing really makes feminism fail.
firstly? no such word… u fail
One word worth of attention span FAIL?
and “u” isn’t a word either.
lol win
if guys were capable of focusing on anything other than sex, girls wouldn’t use it against them so often. think of it as a reflection of your own patheticness.
2 fails don’t make a right.
I completely agree. It’s like female comedians who don’t talk about anything besides being women, then they complain that men think they’re not funny or creative.
tracy does look a little bit black (in terms of features not colour)
MEGA LOLZ at this though!!
I bet Tracy takes up the but
Double comment fail.
1. It’s completely irrelevant
2. Also, you spelled butt wrong
So, after reviewing the facts…I have decided that you suck, good day.
Erm… Just so you know, that’s not actually me, just some moron using my name. I do agree with you about his comment though.
“2. Also, ”
fail.
I’m not sure why this is a fail. Mathematically, women are wrong a majority of the time. Also, Tracy looks mentally handicapped…MATH WIN!
Wow. Max Power is impressed.
Perhaps they’re “wrong” because educators ignore them in favor of male students. That was a bitch-ass move.
Reveling in victim status fail.
“She’s an irrational woman” would have made me laugh even more.
ROFL
You win at internets
Truth.
f u a-hole
OMG, that is hilarious!
young girls are statistically more likely to be good at math than boys
Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.
Way to bring the statistical thunder homer, lol!
I think it is a fail that math tests now have cartoon people on them with word bubbles filled with the problems to solve, anyone else find that odd? I think Tracey is wrong because she is a cartoon.
I think Tracey is wrong because it’s 10, not 18. XD
I thought it was 42%!
And Jam’s right. I’ve seen more girls than guys that are good at math. (I’m a senior in high school.) I’m the exception. A guy who’s good at math. (Then again, I have a mental disorder…)
sqrt(2) = 1.41421356
sqrt(8) = 2.82842712
1.41421356 + 2.82842712 = 4.24264068
4.24264068^2 = 17.9999999
No, it is in fact 18. Therefore, it is /you/ which fails; both at maths and at knowing what you’re good at.
Maths?
British/European phrasing. Pretty much it’s only Americans (USAns, that is) who refer to “math” – the rest of the world refers to “maths.” Similarly, we’re the only ones who “go to the hospital” or “get put in the hospital” – rest of the world “goes to hospital” or “gets put in hospital.”
I’m a brit, I’d “go to the hospital” or “get put in the hospital”, but I’d probably contract the ‘the’ down to a grunt. On the other hand, I always ‘write to my MP’, not ‘write my MP’.
Who the fuck are you?
Um… Hang on… *looks at the math problem again* Oh. I was doing something backward. >_< Well, I’m usually good at math. Wasn’t taking in this year.
Anyway, you can’t really say I’m bad at math based on one mistake.
Correct, although the actual question is not whether (√2+√8)²=18. It was thatshe thinks that if you square an irrational number, you always get a rational number, which you proved was incorrect. You win!
Actually Tracy is right about that Tracy says that if you square an irrational number the it will become rational which would work with the number she picked. one answer to this problem is Pi.
Shazam the maths numbnuts more like…

If you square Pi, you do not get a rational number. You get another irrational number. And retards posting stupid comments.

I’m applauding
.
Homer, I want to kiss you full on the lips for that comment!
How do so many end up pregnant then?
That’d be biology, not math
Add the bed, subtract the clothes, divide the legs, and multiply. Sounds like math to me.
I love this comment.
Cuz ONLY women can get pregnant! DUH!!!!
Couples get pregnant, dipshit.
83.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Ok, this one is pretty funny! Some of the others look like a stretch for the FAIL label.
a fuckin’ ROFL
is it really a ‘fail’ if it’s a 100% correct answer though?
This entry is obviously another example of the sexist media, like Chris Matthews, derailing Hillary Clinton’s campaign in favor of an inadequate BLACK man.
So, how’s that down-home racism working for you?
just quoting the Hillary supporters, yo – check out the video by clicking my name.
Fail.
Alternately, troll, in which case I give it 8/10
YEAH!
Thankfully only 17.837% of people will know who that is.
Calm down now Willy.
Incest FAIL
Mentally disadvantaged children WIN
Must…not…comment
You lost.
Epic fail.
Tracy is really the Dutchboy in disguise.
http://xkcd.com/385/
Dick fail.
For a good time call Tracey @ = 17.9999999
This was actually a lot funnier when it didn’t have the MATH FAIL text attached to it.
You’re doing it wrong.
This was stolen from http://boners.com BECAUSE OF MY TWEET
d <—- This is a backward b!!! I rock!
Tracy used to be Eduardo but recently got a free sex change in Cuba:

I’ll bet Tracy really knows how to cook.
HEY! Now THATS NOT NICE!! I’m a woman!
ROTFLMAO
Wow, I was reading and trying to answer the question for a few moments, asking myself, “Why is this a fail? What’s wrong with this math problem?” – as if something were inherently wrong with the problem. I thought I wasn’t getting it until I glanced down at the answer, lol.
I”m a big crazy old school feminist and I am laughing so hard I peed on my shoes.
You Fail at Bladder Control.
Tracy is wrong because it says “an number”.
gotta admit, that is funny. guess i’m used to sexist things like that being said in jest and personally i find them hilarious
Sexist as it may be, at least the student did probably FAIL.
THIS MAKES ME SO ANGRY ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY
THAT STUDENT BETTER HAVE ACTUALLY FAILED.
THIS IS NOT OK.
SEXIST ASS
“Needs to calm down” Fail.
Sexism fail!
I hate math questions like that. Those type of math questions fail every time. But this attempt at a sexist joke fails.
My Friend: study math. She is all rigth.
you Can not cancel. the result is 18
“Meu caro amigo, você não pode cancelar a raiz quadrada com a potência quadrática. O resultado é realmente 18 e não 10 como você deve estar pensando. Trata-se de um número irracional. primeiro resolve-se as raízes e depois eleva-se ao quadrado
Everything is fail, don’t you all get it?!
Tracey can sometimes be a guy’s name and she looks pretty butch, so possible gender confusion there.
Am I the only one who noticed just how girly that hand writting is? I know few males who’s hand writting is that smooth.
lol you all failed simple mats Tracey is right
^2 + ^8 = ^2 + 2^2 = 3^2
3^2 * 3^2 = 9*2 = 18 ….. you all FAILED
read the fucken question you fucken retard
Obama with a rib-eye steak draped over his head
a^2+2(a*b)+b^2
2+2(4)+8=18
LOl that’s so funny and I’m a girl xD
Actually, she’s right: [square root(2) + square root(8)]^2 = [square root(2) + square root(8)] X [square root(2) + square root(8)] = square root(4) + square root(16) + square root(16) + square root(64) = 2 + 4 + 4 + 8 = 18! LEARN MATH GUYS!!!!!
Her math is right in that (sqrt(2) + sqrt(8))^2 == 18… her logic below the math is not.
It’s probably supposed to say “I think that if you square an irrational number you always get a rational number.” Since we all know that not all irrational numbers are square roots, it should be pretty easy to prove.
yep, the rest of the question is just not shown…
holy fuck. learn some math, then come back to this page so you can realize how retarded you are.
Actually, I’m right! Haha, I’ve never seen even a fictional character spell their name like I do.
you will always fail in life, it is destiny. since your name is tracey
The sad thing is, that looks like my brother’s handwriting.
so your brother’s name is probably Animal?
notice, this is a question from those ISTEP tests(a test that every hooshire has to take in school)
I’ve heard that this test spoof thing’s on the internet, can somebody email me If they find where? (happyfaic@hotmail.com)
BAWWW fail.
What do you mean fail that is total win and totaly true
CMon! Thats an epic win!
labeling fail! this is a win
Misogamy WIN!

EPIC WIN
haha, I love this. I think this might’ve been here in England. Very true though.
it dont see them problem… the result is 18…
Wow… Grammar check please?
owned
He is wrong: In all maths books the girls are always right and the boys are always wrong about sth…
beautiful.
it would have been even better had his teacher been a woman
awwww……… Dat’s just mean!!
this is a “fail” fail.
